We had a great time staying at this home on the water in East Peoria. We have stayed at this home in the past and loved it that we decided to do it again.
Though the host didn’t need to, last minute, he was able to accommodate a change to the next weekend when the weather was looking to be a burden for my mother to travel to help watch our kids and he did it with no questions asked.
The location on the water was gorgeous with recent snowfall covering the frozen water with beautiful sunsets glistening off the water and snow.
As an extra treat, the tasty restaurant next door hosted ice races with motorcycles on the ice and we were entertained and delighted with a show on the ice from the comforts of the warm home and a great view from the steamy hot tub.
Inside the home has plenty of space for a large family and also has the appeal and amenities for a couple, like ourselves.
We enjoyed using the 4 sprayer spacious shower to rinse off after the hot tub. The kitchen is huge and has everything you could need, but make sure to bring ziploc bags in case you save any leftovers. If you’re missing anything, the Dollar General a quick 2 min drive away has any essentials you forgot.
I would recommend the pizza next door at Charlie’s at Sunset Cove. If they’re running a special with the breakfast pizza, don’t miss out — it is delicious.
All in all, a great stay, and are already trying to coordinate the next trip when Granny can watch the kids and let the adults get away!
